A few things have changed for Mercury-nominated, alt-pop four-piece The Big Moon, since you last saw them! The last time you heard them it was welcoming the release of their dazzling second album, Walking Like We Do, back in January 2020, when life was very different to how it is now. That was a coming-of-age record, bold songs for Saturday nights and sad songs for Sunday mornings. So much has changed, continues to change, and promises to change some more. And in this world of constant change, we yearn for the familiarity of a constant. Started in the middle of lockdown, and the majority recorded when frontwoman Jules Jackson was six months pregnant, their upcoming third album ‘Here Is Everything’ has been on a journey alongside The Big Moon themselves. Finished when little baby Moon turned nine months old, the album captures an enormous period of change for the band: a time of uncertainty, of global unrest, pregnancy and new motherhood – but all bound together by the unbreakable ties between Jules, bassist Celia Archer, drummer Fern Ford and guitarist Soph Nathan. ‘Here Is Everything’ is just that: four women laying it all out on the table.
